FishStix: we are still subsidizing buggy whip makers; it’s just that these days they’re making jet fighters and anti-ballistic missiles that were rendered obsolete by the end of the Cold War.
Subsidizing buggy whip makers would have been a lot cheaper.
Our department stores closed, 100 miles to a “box store”, so the screen in front of me is now my “storefront”. The new rural America mall, e-mail order.

Yes, and they put people to work, all over China, Mexico and Singapore. Oh, and a couple of jobs in the U.S. too.

At least they don’t collect unemployment benefits.

A bunch of dummies fired for hanging around doing nothing, so they got the axe.
